Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W3
Fujifilm was one of the first manufacturers to have a consumer-focused camera for capturing 3D digital photos and video with the FinePix Real 3D W1. The Real 3D W3 is the follow-up to that model, the biggest feature upgrade being the capability to capture 3D video at an HD-quality resolution of 720p in 3D-AVI format done with the ease of using a point-and-shoot camera. Plus, the built-in Mini-HDMI output lets you connect directly to your HDTV for playback. And it's small enough to fit in your pocket and weighs only 8.5 ounces.
The camera uses twin 10-megapixel CCD sensors paired with dual Fujinon 3x f3.7-4.2 35-105mm lenses spaced about 3 inches apart that approximates human-eye spacing for a natural 3D effect. A manual Parallax Control lets you fine-tune the effect, too, as well as eliminate image ghosting. Fujifilm also used a 3.5-inch autostereoscopic LCD with 1,150K-dot resolution that has a lenticular system using rows of convex lenses, which produces "a realistic 3D image with less cross-talk and flicker" for seeing and sharing photos and video in 3D without glasses.
